Soundtoys releases V5 bundle

Including 18 plugins, the new bundle is centered around Soundtoys’ new Effect Rack. According to the brand, the Effect Rack makes it simple to build custom effect chains and define an original signature sound, including global controls for the rack allowing its use as a single plug-in.

Rhythmic effects can be locked to a single tempo, or let run free. The input and output levels can be fine tuned, the global mix control allows to blend the rack effects with the dry signal. The new global Recycle control allows mixing the output of the rack back into the input, so as to build one’s own modulated reverbs, over-the-top delays and other unique ambience effects that otherwise would require complicated routing to accomplish in most DAWs.
